Faculty Priorities

The value of a Touro University California education begins with our faculty. Your
gift helps TUC support these leaders to continue offering an innovative curriculum,
one-on-one mentoring and skill enhancement in their areas of expertise.

Faculty Development Fund

You can choose to support the classroom leaders who make a difference each and every
day in our students lives by giving them the resources they need to enhance their
skills in pedagogy and their specialty. This is a small funding program in support
of professional development. The Faculty Development Fund was established to help
support difficult to fund projects, and support our junior faculty who have not fully
developed their own external support, as well as for those faculty members working
in chronically under-funded areas. Full-time faculty in teaching and research, as
well as librarians/archivists are eligible.

Endowed Chairs & Professorships

Touro University California may accept gifts for the purpose of creating an endowed
chair, professorship, or faculty fellowship position. These positions are critical
to retaining and attracting new scholars and continuing to build upon TUC’s academic
excellence. Endowments in this category typically carry the name of the donor, of
a person or institution designated by the donor, or of a person in whose name the
University seeks funds to endow the position. Endowed chairs and professorships are
awarded to our most distinguished faculty members who excel in research, teaching,
and service.
